Plenty of power
Typical Bosch quality
This saw is still working well. I added some tape across the top 2/3 of the sawdust chute to cut down on the sawdust it puts out onto my leg.
I still don’t know why the chute wasn’t made straight out the back of the saw, away from the operator?
Original review-
I received this saw today (very fast free shipping) and was able to put it to the test already.
Happily I found this did include a carbide blade in the box even though I thought the info said bare saw (it also has an included onboard wrench).
It has a nice hefty feel to it and being used to the motor on the left style of my old Skilsaw, it took me a minute to get used to this saw.
I will say, it is certainly a pleasure being able to easily see the line as you cut, much easier with this saw design.
As another reviewer mentioned, the sawdust exhaust chute is in a horrible location. It's hard to understand why, since they could have easily made the port in the rear of the housing putting the sawdust behind the operator.
I may add a deflector after the warranty expires to redirect the dust away from my right leg 😜
Update 7-23-17 - I love seeing the blade/mark so easily, I dislike being covered in sawdust because of the chute design. Bad enough I stopped using it through most of a recent project... until the magic smoke escaped my old worn out saw 😉.
Then I was forced to go back to this Bosch and the sawdust coating it provides my legs and shoes. 🙄
This saw is very well balanced, light for it size, and powerful. I like the design of the lower guard, it has a flat spot built into the front of the guard (like my worm drive saw) which will make contact with material as you make the cut allowing you you use this saw with one hand. You don't have to raise the guard when cutting unless you want to, (be careful doing this as this saw seems to take longer than normal to spin down to a stop). As with all left hand blade saws except for my Skil professional "worm drive" saw it has a exhaust port to rid the saw of sawdust and it will blow the dust toward you I don't know why but they could have made a "directional chute" to blow the dust out and down instead of straight out this was one of the big reasons I only gave it 4 stars. My worm drive saw doesn't even have a exhaust port and it seems to work fine without it. As I have stated the motor is a powerful 15 amp motor, and guys you can take the cover off and service this saw i.e. replace brushes, when its time to do this. The power cord seems to be extra long too which is nice. Another reason I only give it 4 stars was the sole plate, as it seems sturdy it still seems the finish on the bottom of this saw could of been better, I took the saw and treated it like I do my 10" table saws top, I took and cleaned the sole plate really well and applied about 3 coats of Johnson's paste to the sole plate now its a smooth as a babies butt. I really like the lock designed for removing and installing the saw blade, very easy to use. Overall this is a very good saw which should last me years. The good thing about this saw is there are replacement parts being made today once the saw is out of warranty the only other thing that could make this saw better is if it wasn't being built in China.
Let me start with the good.
Power. Lots of it.
Comfort.
Splendid line of sight with the blade on the left!
I bought the battery version of this "left" circular saw and decided I needed more power for the multiple (over 50 sheets) of 3/4 plywood and OSB to cut. ( I know, very unrealistic and naive from my part) and got the Cs10 (blade on the right and hated it. You can't see what the blade is doing, or if it's flexing or anything, just like with every other saw I guess! But not with this one.
It is heavy enough to guide you well and light enough to let you handle it comfortable.
I would give this one 4 stars just because all the dust shoots towards you if you are not a lefty, which if you were, would leave you with the blind line of sight like the other circ saws for righties. But my complain is more for it not having a way to attach a vacuum hose at all to avoid this issue.
I know I am complaining on an issue on a product that is intended to be used by lefty people, but it is such a good product for everyone that is a shame this dust shoot issue is not addressed for mankind's sake! ;)
